Attitudes towards risk & reward

Investing Only When the Reward to Your Portfolio Outweighs the Risk

To Morningstar, risk is not only a technical financial term, it’s a personal concern. Morningstar’s approach is designed to first preserve your savings and then grow your money – investing when the potential reward to the portfolio outweighs the risk. But first, you and your Financial Advisor need to determine your Investment Profile and your attitudes towards risk and reward.

Your Investment Profile Puts You in Your Portfolio

What will you use the money for?
When will you need your money?
Will you need it in a lump sum or draw it down over time?
What is your appetite for risk?
Is your main goal to avoid loss or the opposite – to maximize growth?
Do you react to bad news or stay the course?
Can you tolerate ups and downs in the market?
These are the types of questions your Advisor will ask in a nuanced Investment Profile Questionnaire designed to understand your attitudes towards risk and reward. Your answers are used to determine your Investment Profile and the type of Portfolio that will work for you.

Your Financial Advisor will provide you with an individualized Investment Policy Statement (IPS), a declaration of intent typically prepared for institutional and affluent private investors. Your IPS will be used to discuss your Portfolio and how it responds to your needs and attitudes towards risk and reward. Your Advisor will take you through how Morningstar monitors and adjusts your Portfolio back to its original mix to maintain a constant balance between risk and reward.
